BODY

The Pixel 6 has a sleek, bold design made of aluminum and glass. Its front is an all-screen display, while the backside features a two-toned color scheme split by a horizontal camera bar spanning the full width of the phone. You can choose a Kinda Coral, Seafoam Green, or black variant.

The Pixel 6 has a water resistance rating of IP68 and uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus, making it scratch-resistant and able to survive a plunge in the pool. However, the phone is 16% larger than its predecessor and an inch taller than an iPhone mini, making it cumbersome and easy to drop.

DISPLAY

Both the Pixel 6 and its bigger sibling, the Pixel 6 Pro, feature impressive OLED screens. The Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch display with a 1080p-wide resolution compared to the 6 Pro’s 6.7-inch 1440p screen. While the Pixel 6’s display has a 90Hz refresh rate, the Pixel 6 Pro’s display supports a faster and slightly better 120Hz refresh rate. However, most people can’t tell the difference between the two, and the Pixel 6’s display is plenty vibrant and bright enough to read outdoors on a sunny day.

The phone also has a punch-hole camera and an in-display fingerprint sensor at the top of its screen. The fingerprint reader’s responsiveness can be slow and finicky, often requiring multiple fingers reads to unlock the device.

PLATFORM

The Pixel 6 runs on an all-new Tensor processor, which is developed in-house by Google. This chip offers top-notch, snappy performance, making the Pixel 6 a fast phone. It’s part of the reason why battery life is so good on the Pixel 6. it  runs on Android 12, which brings a fresh look and new features to the operating system. Android 12 offers enhanced privacy features and is more customizable than ever, giving you greater control over your phone. Google promises to provide at least five years of security updates for the Pixel 6, making it a secure choice.

MAIN CAMERA

The Pixel series of smartphones’ main claim to fame is its cameras, and the Pixel 6’s camera array does not disappoint. The camera includes a 50-megapixel wide lens and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, making it capable of capturing rich colors in different lighting conditions, including low-light situations. One notable feature of the Pixel 6’s camera is the new “Real Tone processing,” which aims to better capture skin tone, particularly for people of color. It also offers a digital 7X “Super Res Zoom” feature to compensate for the lack of a 4X optical zoom telephoto camera available on the Pixel 6 Pro. Regarding video, the Pixel 6 records 4K or 1080p video at 30 or 60 frames per second, but the iPhone has better image stabilization options for capturing videos.

BATTERY

One of the most significant upgrades from the Pixel 5 to the Pixel 6 is its battery life. The Pixel 6 has a 4,614mAh battery that offers all-day battery life, and you can get through a full day of use without needing to top up the battery. The Pixel 6 also supports fast charging and can charge from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. However, you will need to use the included 30W charger to achieve this fast charging. If you don’t have it, you can still charge the phone at a decent speed with other chargers that support Power Delivery.

Conclusion

The Pixel 6 is an excellent smartphone with top-notch performance, a great camera, a bold design, and long-lasting battery life. It’s a perfect option for anyone looking for an Android smartphone, and it’s incredibly compelling for those who value a top-notch camera experience.
